I support clients with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, high sensitivity and life stressors.
Welcome! In therapy, my priority is to create a welcoming, accepting and safe therapeutic space. My approach is grounded in a “whole person” approach, working collaboratively to use your strengths and work towards your therapeutic goals. With this space, we can begin to work on processing thoughts, emotions and/or traumatic events. Becoming aware of our thoughts, we can guide them to be more helpful and true. Making small changes by adding in coping skills and healthy routines can lead to a domino affect to positive changes to your mood. I work with children, teens and adults.

For women struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, life can often feel overwhelming, stressful, and exhausting.

Currently, I work with children and teens who find it hard to self-regulate and manage big feelings (anger, anxiety, BPD, ADHD), with LGBTQ+ teens and adults experiencing transitions related to gender or sexual orientation, and with adults with mood disorders (anxiety, depression) who want to make changes with their drinking or substance use.
Are you or your child having a difficult time managing overwhelming feelings? Are there parts of yourself that prevent you from feeling open and safe with others? Imagine if you didn’t have to grapple with these challenges alone. In my practice, I help clients work towards becoming their authentic selves, and provide skill-based support to get the most out of life. Holding a Bachelors and Masters degree in social work, I use a combination of play-based therapy, CBT, and DBT to support clients. I’ve been working with children, youth, and families for the past 10 years, in English and French.

I also work with people with ADHD, especially those unpacking late diagnoses.
We all have stories that we tell about ourselves, our lives, and that others tell about us. Often when we’re struggling, these stories are about feeling powerless, hopeless, scared, and are full of shame and self-doubt. My approach explores these narratives, creating space for new, richer stories to emerge. If it feels right to you, we’ll explore the stories different parts of yourself tell you, drawing you closer to your values, deconstructing your patterns and uncovering your strengths and resiliency to find new paths forward. We will build a deeper understanding of what you've been through, where you are, and where you're going.

My areas of expertise include; ADHD, LGTBQIA folks, Bi-affirming approach, Non-monogamy, Kink and Sexuality, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Religious Trauma and Anti-Capitalism ideology.
I am queer-identified, ENM/poly, sex positive and strive to offer an open-minded, comfortable, safe(r) space to process trauma and provide psychoeducation. I offer online Trauma Therapy for folks who have experienced sexual, religious, physical and emotional abuse and/or neglect. Trauma can make us feel powerless. By gaining an understanding of how trauma works, we can take our power back and begin to heal. I believe that healing from trauma means that the intensity and frequency of the trauma symptoms decrease and have less of an impact on our quality of life. You can learn to walk alongside your trauma, instead of against it.

Struggling with relationships? Is it difficult for you to love yourself, to connect with the present, to achieve your goals?

I believe that knowledge is power!

Often taking the first step is the hardest. I offer a private and safe space to explore your needs and struggles. Often we lose sight of our greatest strengths in everyday life. I offer acceptance base therapy and then I help you work towards change. Most of my experience has been in individual therapy. I truly enjoy starting an internal journey with you. Different parts of you come alive in the therapy room. When you know yourself and your different parts it is much easier to cope with life's difficulties.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Do you feel disconnected from your true self? Are you aware of the problems in your life but are sick of constantly "coping"? You may have gone through your fair share of self-help books and podcasts and still feel like something's missing. Maybe you’re feeling stuck and tired of doing the work on your own.

Struggling with life's transitions while facing systemic barriers? Need support that fosters growth without compromising your integrity? You're in the right place. It’s tough for self-identified misfits—those of us who are nerdy, witchy, queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, or just frustrated trying to thrive in a society not built for us. Finding values-aligned support can be even harder. My goal is to empower you to navigate these challenges with confidence and authenticity, moving toward a fulfilling life without sacrificing who you are.
